“Big Sonia” comes to City Hall
Kansas City, MO — Councilwoman Heather Hall will introduce a resolution to the Mayor and City Council to honor Sonia Warshawski, declaring December 21st as “Big Sonia Day.”
“It is my distinct honor to recognize Sonia for her big heart and perseverance. I admire her dedication tocivility, love and kindness and ask all citizens of Kansas City to live like Sonia,” said Councilwoman Hall.
Sonia Warshawski is a Holocaust survivor and a citizen of the greater metropolitan Kansas City area. Ms. Warshawski continues to show compassion, determination and service in educating the world of the Holocaust and her legacy. She has been influential in breaking many barriers involving our communities, her message of love and tolerance has healed many hurting people and she remains a strong role model for so many.
We’re overjoyed that Sonia’s message of “love over hate” is resonating with so many people of all ages, races, cultures and ethnicities around the globe. Big Sonia Day reminds us that small acts matter BIG and we’re honored that the “Sonia Effect” is spreading rapidly! (Leah Warshawski, Producer, BIG SONIA) The multi-award winning documentary BIG SONIA is now playing at the Glenwood Arts Movie Theater multiple times a day.

ReplyDeleteHopefully, this will allow more people in the KC metro area an opportunity to benefit from the experience of sitting on Sonia's Leopard-print sofa, and letting Sonia's other-worldly goodness envelope them, caress them, gosh I'm getting all teary-eyed just thinking about Sonia and her goodness ! Our murder rate will suddenly drop-off to NOTHING and White people will be able to enjoy living in KCMO without fear of being robbed and killed--why oh why didn't we think of this before ?! This once violent city will become a utopia for all with Sonia Warshawskie's enormous,benevolent, nose-of-love hovering over it. Thank you oh THANK YOU CITY HALL !
ReplyDeleteWhy should Kansas City hog all of Sonia's goodness ? Why don't we send Sonia to Palestine, so she can explain to those terrible Palestinians that it's OK that their children are being shot in the head at security check-points for having a pocket knife--maybe Sonia could convince the Palestinian suicide-houses to stop slamming themselves into the peaceful Israeli bulldozers ! Please, Sonia--THE WORLD NEEDS YOUR GOODNESS !
ReplyDeleteThere is no "Palestine" u ignoramous. There are only palestinian territories. Get your Israel-hating lingo straight. There would have been a Palestine, but they rejected the UN giving them their own country because they denied Israel's right to exist. They declared War, and lost. They've been losers ever since, rejecting peace offer after peace offer. But Arafat got rich! Tell you what, fool, send YOUR money to the Palestinians do they can give more money to the family of suicide bombers who still lust for Jewish blood and the elimination of Israel.
DeleteHas anyone pointed out to Big Sonia that there were no gas chambers in any of the concentration camps ? Or would that ruin everything ?
ReplyDeleteWhat has Big Sonia done for Kansas City?
ReplyDeleteI agree she survived a dreadful time in life as did many others but in the end what has she done for Kansas City to deserve any special recognition?
Tony runs an informational news site posting news many times a day seven days a week 365 days a year and City Hall has not once recognized his hard work in trying to get the truth out to the people.
Like The Holocaust never happened, 10:50?
DeleteTruth!
Perhaps the "Sonia Effect" will fix KC's roads and sewer system !
ReplyDeleteMissy B's has a dancer named "Big Sonia"--just sayin'.
ReplyDelete10:49 Do is all a favor and run a hose from your exhaust to inside your car with the windows rolled up. People as dumb as you shouldn't contaminate the gene pool.
ReplyDeleteThe Holocau$t (myth) has proven to be an indespensable idealogical weapon. Through it's deployment, one of the world's most formidable military powers, with a horrendous human rights record, has cast itself as a "victim" state, and the most successful ethnic group in the United States has likewise aquired victim status. Considerable benefits accrue to this specious victimhood--in particular, immunity from criticism, however justified. No homicidal gas chambers existed at any of the camps during the war and no examples of a genuine homicidal gas chamber exist today at any of the camps nor has anyone shown how these non-existent homicidal gas chambers were supposed to technically function.
ReplyDeleteGas chamber's, didnt exist. Its all a big Jew lie !!!!!
ReplyDelete^^Ignorance.
ReplyDelete3:01 - That's a double negative in your second sentence. Did you intend to tap out "ever" instead of "never"? As submitted, you assert "your" (you didn't designate a quantity, like most or some) readers, so "your" stands for "all" of them. Your word arrangement is claiming all TKC readers actually believe the Holocaust HAPPENED!
ReplyDeleteAt least millions of Russians got killed in WWII and Japan learned a good lesson as to who runs the show.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Byron just explained himself
ReplyDeleteHeather hall is the only non criminal in kc politico
ReplyDelete301 is a stroke
ReplyDelete6:08 And she's marginally easy on the eyes
ReplyDeleteReally glad to see this honor for Big Sonia. What's funny is that Internet trolls think they can attack her. She has been through much worse than some mean comments. She is a great woman and one of the BEST the Kansas City area has to offer!
ReplyDelete^^^ +1
ReplyDeleteim gonna play Sonias wrist on the powerball
ReplyDelete10:07, I laughed but that is a classic new low!
ReplyDeleteExactly, why would the Germans, known for their efficiency take the time to tattoo winning powerball numbers on someone scheduled for extermination ?
ReplyDeleteHey, 10:50am yesterday--
ReplyDeleteSonia Warshawski visits with prisoners at Lansing Prison. Many give her praise for helping turn their lives around, by letting love into their heart.
She also meets with teenagers--and now a group of teens share her message with other students.
Of course, if you had bothered to go see the film, Big Sonia, at Glenwood Arts (Ranchmart South) any day in the last two weeks, you'd know that. This site is for commenters advancing the action. You must KNOW something before you can respectfully comment on any post.
What have YOU done for Kansas City, 10:50? Sad that you are both jealous and ignorant.
One of these pathetic trolls here is my fat, disgusting neighbor, Craig Scholes. If he were confronted about his snarky comments, he would dismiss it has his "art form" or talent, which he thinks, incorrectly, is sarcasm.
I can't wait for the day when someone hacks into TKC and reveals the ISP addresses of all the cynical anonymous coward trolls here.. And that it costs you whatever dreadful jobs or relationships you currently have.
Meanwhile, kudos to Heather Hall, for doing something good.
Also, Leah Warshawski and her husband Todd _______ will be at the Glenwood Arts on Thurs. Dec. 21 and Fri. Dec. 22. Details on fineartsgroup.com.
No word yet if Sonia will be in attendance. If any of you trolls want to come see the movie, you may email me at jocopost@gmail.com, and give me your name and I will give you a ticket.
There's no telling when your heart might open. But if anyone can do it, it's Sonia Warshawski.
You got a good heart Tracy. Kudos to you and the other doll in the room, Heather Hall.
ReplyDeleteIt takes an especially low and vile form of life to rely more on their own imagination, than to take seriously the genuine testimony of an octogenarian woman's personal experience. She was split from her mother, who was being placed in line for the chamber. Both knew it. Sonia has survived to this day, having endured such an experience that would cripple the spineless type like you. But, hey, go coddle yourself in your ignorance and bias. They won't help you know how to truly survive when it hits the fan- something both you and I would agree is coming.
